他列出了大谷下架之後交易市場的前20名球員，把Soto排在第一名
節錄
Sources say that though the Padres still hope to buy, they are now listening on
Soto plus star starter Blake Snell and star closer Josh Hader in case things go
further south.
消息說教士隊仍然希望當買家，但他們會聽取Soto、Snell跟Hader的報價以防球隊一路向南
。
A trade of Soto remains unlikely, even more unlikely than deals involving free a
gents to be Snell and Hader, but everything is being considered for MLB’s unluc
kiest team (49-54 and 6 ½ out of the wild card despite a plus-51 run differenti
al).
不過交易現在看起來還不太可能發生，尤其是跟即將FA的兩位投手比的話。但對於教士這支
大聯盟最不幸的球隊來說一切都有可能發生。
Soto isn’t a free agent until after next year, and the vast majority of contend
ers are focusing on pitching, too, which further complicates the chances for a S
oto trade. The Yankees, searching since winter for a lefthanded hitting outfield
er, are one team that fits Soto, though Cubs star Cody Bellinger or possibly Ran
dal Grichuk remain the more likely option for a team still not ready to be extre
mely aggressive. (As of Thursday afternoon, the sides had not talked Soto.)
Soto明年才FA，加上現在大多數季後賽競爭者都想補投手讓Soto被交易的機會變得更複雜。
洋基一直在尋求左打外野手，但Bellinger或Grichuk顯然更適合這支目前沒打算做大交易的
球隊
。
The Padres may reasonably believe there’s little hope of extending Soto, and ma
ny believe he wouldn’t mind returning to the East Coast, anyway. But a trade in
winter or at next year’s deadline still seems more likely.
教士可能有理由相信與Soto續約的機會渺茫，許多人認為他不介意回到東岸，不過交易的時
間點似乎更有可能是在今年季後或明年季中
